become a registered user of Agenda and take advantage of Lotus
Development Corporation's customer service and customer sup-

Typographic Conventions

Setting Up Agenda uses the following typographical conventions:
The names of Agenda function keys, accelerator keys, and special
keys appear in small capital letters. Function keys are identified by
the key number, followed by the Agenda name.

Example
F3 (CHOICES)

Information that you type appears in a different typeface.

Commands, settings, and choices appear in boldface type.
Press Flo (MENU) and select Utilities Customize.

Chapter 1
Installing Agenda

Before you can use Agenda, you must install it on your hard disk.
This chapter describes how to install Agenda and set it up for your
work environment.

In this Chapter

This chapter describes how to

• Install Agenda lor both first-time users and those upgrading from
an earlier Agenda release

• Install Agenda without the print and preview features to save disk
space

• Select a print preview display driver (adapter)

• Select printers

• Install the Agenda accessories

• Configure your system for best performance

• Start Agenda

• Customize Agenda for your work environment

• Add the print and preview features, if you didn't do so when you
installed Agenda

• Add printers after you install Agenda

• Contact Lotus Customer Support

1-2 Installing Agenda

Before You Begin

You need the following hardware and software to run Agenda:

• An IBM® Personal Computer or 100% certified compatible, or a
PS/2® series computer

• A hard disk

• 640KRAM

• MS-DOS®, version 2.1 or higher

For more information about the printers that Agenda supports, see
Chapter 4.

You need approximately 3 MB of space on your hard disk for the
Agenda files (including those required for the Agenda print and pre¬
view features). If you choose not to use the Agenda print and pre¬
view features, you need approximately 2.5 MB of space on your hard

Note If you select one or two printers, approximately 3 MB of space
on your hard disk are required for the Agenda files. If you
select all the printers, however, you need at least 3.8 MB of
space on your hard disk.

You may also need to modify your CONFIG.SYS file before you
install Agenda. Make sure that this file includes the following state-

BUEFERS = 20
FILES = 20

Agenda works best with buffer values between 10 and 20. You can
experiment with different buffer values. Higher values improve disk
performance at the expense of available memory. (For information
on CONFIG.SYS and buffers, see your operating system manual and
"Configuring Your System for Best Performance" later in this chap-

Register
Your Purchase

To become a registered user of Agenda, you must complete the War¬
ranty Registration Card and return it to the address printed on the
back. Only registered users receive warranty service, customer
support, reduced-rate upgrades for new releases, and special offers
on new products.

About the Installation Procedure

You install Agenda by running the Installation program,
INSTALL.EXE. The Installation program takes you step-by-step
through installing Agenda. In most cases, all the information that
you need to install Agenda is on the screen.

The following sections take you through each of these steps and
describe what's taking place during the installation process. You can
use the procedures in this chapter to guide you through the entire
installation process, or as a reference, if you need specific information
about a particular part of the installation procedure.

The Agenda installation procedure is divided into several parts:

• Recording your name and company name

• Specifying your hard-disk drive and Agenda program directory

• Choosing whether to transfer the print and preview files

• Selecting a print preview display driver and printers, if you
choose to transfer the print and preview files

• Transferring the Agenda files to your hard-disk drive

Both the procedures on the screen and in this chapter are grouped
according to the preceding list. In most cases, section headings in this
chapter correspond directly to the screen titles that you see when you
run the Installation program.

Use the following table to find out which sections in this chapter you
should read to help you run the Installation program.

these names permanently on your copy of the Installation disk. This
information displays each time you start Agenda.

To record your name and company name:

1. Do one of the following:

• For the 5.25-inch disk version, insert the Installation Disk in
drive A.

• For the 3.50-inch disk version, insert the Installation and Pro¬
gram Disk in drive A.

Note You can install Agenda from any drive, just make sure that
you go to that drive in Step 2.

2. Type a: and press enter.

3. Do one of the following:

• If you are installing Agenda on a computer that has a screen
that displays in several shades of one color (such as plasma
displays), type install mono and then press enter. This

4. Press enter to begin the installation procedure.

Agenda asks you to enter your name and company name
(Figure 1-1).

Note This screen only displays the first time that you install
Agenda.

5. Type your name (up to 30 characters) and press enter.

Agenda records this name and your company name (see Step 6)
on the Installation Disk (or Installation and Program Disk). Only
you are authorized to use this copy of Agenda. Use backspace
and DEL to correct any typing errors.

6. Type your company name (or the name of the organization with
which you are affiliated) (up to 30 characters). If you do not have
a company or organization with which you are affiliated, type
your own name again. Press t and 1 to move between the name
and company name prompts. From Company name, press
enter when all information on this screen is correct.

The Installation program asks you to confirm that your name and
company information are correct.

7. Do one of the following:

• If the names are correct, type Y and press ENTER.

Make sure that the information is correct since you cannot
change it after you press ENTER.

• If you made a mistake, type N and press enter. Then correct
the information and press ENTER to accept the changes.

The Installation program records the information that you specify.

Figure 1-1 Record your name and company name

Once you confirm the names that you enter. Agenda lets you specify
your hard-disk drive and program directory. To continue with instal¬
lation, see the next section.

2. Specify Your Hard-Disk Drive and Directory

Before the Installation program can transfer the Agenda files to your
hard disk, you must specify the hard-disk drive and Agenda program
directory that you want to use for those files.

To specify your hard-disk drive and Agenda program directory:

1. Type the letter of the hard-disk drive on which to install Agenda
and press ENTER, or simply press enter to accept drive C
(default). You can install Agenda to any destination drive that
you specify.

The Installation program asks you to specify a name for your
Agenda program directory (Figure 1-2).

2. Type the name of the directory for Agenda and press ENTER, or
simply press enter to accept the AGENDA directory (default).

1-10 Installing Agenda

If the Directory Is
Empty

If the directory that you specify in Step 2 in the preceding procedur
is a new directory, or one that exists but contains no files. Agenda
asks you if the drive and directory that you specify are correct.

Do one of the following:

If the drive and directory j

If the Directory
Contains Files

If the directory that you specify in "2. Specify Your Hard-Disk Drive
and Directory" contains files, these files may be from a previous
Agenda release or they may be files from another application.
Agenda responds accordingly.

If the directory contains files from a previous Agenda release,
Agenda asks if you want to install Agenda in this directory or specify
another directory.

Note If you want to install Agenda in this directory, it is a good

idea to first make backups of the Agenda program files in this
directory before you proceed.

Do one of the following:

Agenda in this drive and directory, type Y and press

The Installation program replaces any Agenda program files with
the same name (such as AGENDA.RI) in this directory with
Agenda 2.0 files. It does not replace or delete any other files in this
directory (such as printer definition files) or files that you created
with a previous release of Agenda.

To keep the existing program files and specify a different drive or
directory, type N and press enter. (Go to Step 2 in "2. Specify
Your Hard-disk Drive and Directory.")

Installing Agenda 1-11

If the directory contains files from another application Agenda
asks if you want to install Agenda in this directory anyway.

Do one of the following:

• To install Agenda to this drive and directory, type Y and press
enter. To continue with installation, see the next section.

• To specify another drive or directory, type N and press enter.

(Go to Step 2 in "2. Specify Your Hard-disk Drive and Directory.")

3. Add the Print and Preview Files

Once you specify your hard-disk drive and Agenda program direc¬
tory, the Installation program lets you choose whether to transfer the
files for previewing and printing in Agenda (Figure 1-3). These files
take up approximately 700K, plus a small amount for each printer
you select, on your hard-disk drive.

You may not want to install these files if you are running Agenda on
a laptop computer, or if you don't have much free disk space. You
can, however, add these files after you install Agenda if you decide at
some point that you want to preview or print your Agenda files.

Note For information about adding the Agenda print and preview
features after you install Agenda, see "Adding the Print and
Preview Features After Installation" later in this chapter.

To specify whether to transfer the Agenda print and preview files, do
one of the following:

• To transfer the print and preview files, type Y and press ENTER.

To continue with installation, go to "4. Select a Print Preview
Display Driver."

• To continue with installation without transferring these files, type
N and press enter. Then go to ”6. Transfer the Agenda Files."

1-12 Installing Agenda

4. Select a Print Preview Display Driver

If you choose to preview and print your Agenda files, the Installation
program automatically detects the type of display adapter card (and
monitor) your computer has and highlights the correct choice
(Figure 1-4).

Note This screen also displays the choice None/No Graphics. The
Installation program highlights this choice if your computer's
display adapter card can't display graphics. If you choose
None/No Graphics, you cannot use the Agenda preview fea¬
ture, but you can still print.

Do one of the following:

• If the highlighted choice is correct, or if you're not sure what type
of display adapter card your computer has, press enter. To con¬
tinue with installation, go to "5. Select Printers."

• If the highlighted choice is not correct, highlight the correct one.
As you highlight each choice, the Installation program tells you
which types of display each choice supports. When you highlight

with installation, go to "5. Select Printers."

stalling Agenda

To select one or more printers:

1. Press t and 4. to highlight a printer and press SPACE BAR. You
must select at least one printer. Select as many printers as you
think you might use; then press enter.

Note Choose Generic if your printer is not listed and it is not a
PostScript® printer. If your printer is not listed and it is a
PostScript printer, choose PostScript Device.

The Installation program displays the Select the Primary Printer
screen with the list of printers that you selected.

Notes If you select only one printer in Step 1, the Installation

program does not display the list of selected printers (since
the printer you select is, by default, your primary printer).
You can also select another printer as your primary and/or
secondary printer after you install Agenda using the
Print Setup command in Agenda. (See Chapter 17 in the
User's Guide.)

2. Highlight the printer that you want to use as your primary
printer (the printer that you expect to use most often) and press
spacebar. Then press enter. You must select a primary

The Installation program begins transferring files to your Agenda
directory. When it finishes transferring files from this disk, it
prompts you to insert the appropriate Agenda disks. (Depending on
the selections you made, you may not be prompted for all disks.) To
continue with installation, go to "6. Transfer the Agenda Files."

6. Transfer the Agenda Files

To transfer the Agenda files to your hard-disk drive and program
directory, the Installation program prompts you to insert the appro¬
priate Agenda disks. Depending on the selections you made, you
may not be prompted for all disks.

Note The Installation program may display a message at this point
if your hard disk does not have enough room for all the files
that you need, given the selections you made. You can press
ENTER to specify another hard-disk drive or ESC to end instal¬
lation and delete some files to make room on your hard disk
using operating system commands.

To transfer the Agenda files to your hard-disk drive and program
directory:

1. When prompted, remove the Installation Disk (or the Installation
and Program Disk) from drive A, insert the appropriate disk, and

Note If you are installing from a drive other than drive A, make
sure that you go to that drive in Step 1.

As the Installation program transfers the files from each disk that
you insert, it displays introductory information about the
Agenda documentation.

As soon as the Installation program finishes transferring files
from this disk, it prompts you to insert the next disk.

The Installation program also automatically creates a subdirec¬
tory of your Agenda program directory called APPS and trans¬
fers the Agenda application files to this subdirectory.

2. When prompted, insert the appropriate disk in drive A and press

The Installation program transfers files from each disk. When
finished, it tells you whether installation is successful.

3. Do one of the following:

• If installation is successful, press any key to end installation.
The Installation program returns you to your operating
system prompt and Agenda program directory. To start
Agenda, go to "Starting Agenda" later in this chapter.

• If installation is not successful, press enter to end installation.
Go to the following section, "If Installation Fails.”

If Installation Fails

Installation can be unsuccessful for various reasons. The following
table outlines some possible problems that you may encounter and
what you should do in response.

Your original Agenda Call Lotus Customer Support,
disks are damaged

Copies that you made Make new copies and install Agenda again,

Error messages display Follow the instructions on die screen to correct
during installation problem. Then proceed with installation as

instructed. (For more information about error
_ messages, see Appendix J in the User's Guide.)

In addition, before transferring the files to your hard disk, the
Installation program may display a message if your hard disk does
not have enough room for all the files that you need, given the
selections you made. If this happens, you can press enter to specify
another hard-disk drive or ESC to end installation and delete some
files to make room on your hard disk using operating system com¬
il the Installation program is unsuccessful, you need to install
Agenda again. Repeat the installation procedure from the beginning
by typing install at the drive A prompt (or install mono if
you're using a screen that displays several shades of one color).

Note When you reinstall Agenda, the Installation program skips
the screen that asks you to record your name and company
name. Since you have already done this, the Installation
program goes directly to the screen that asks you to specify
your hard-disk drive and Agenda program directory.

Upgrading from a Previous Agenda Release

If you have a previous Agenda release installed on your hard-disk
drive, you can install Agenda 2.0 in the same directory that contains
the previous release, or you can specify another directory in which to
install Agenda. If you choose to install Agenda 2.0 in the same direc¬
tory, it is a good idea to back up all the program files in this directory
before you proceed.

If you are upgrading from a previous Agenda release, follow the
installation procedures from the beginning. The Installation program
prompts you to choose the directory in which to install Agenda.

If you choose to install Agenda in the directory that contains files
from a previous Agenda release, the Installation program replaces any
Agenda program files in this directory with the same name (such as
AGENDA.RI) with those files from Agenda 2.0. It does not replace or
delete any other files in this directory (such as printer definition files)
or files that you created with a previous release of Agenda.

You can update any Agenda files that you created in an earlier
release of Agenda by opening them in Agenda 2.0. For more infor¬
mation, see Chapter 3.

Installing the Agenda Accessories

Agenda comes with four accessories which are optional. The Agenda
Items accessory and the Clipboard let you capture and store informa¬
tion for items, categories, and notes in Agenda while you're working
in other applications (such as word processing programs). The
Kaleidoscope and Configuration accessories let you customize the
Agenda accessories. (For more information, see Appendix C in the
User's Guide.)

METRO.EXE, and are compatible with other Metro accessories. They
require a minimum of 65K RAM. If you are already a Metro user, or
if you would like the convenience of a pop-up window to collect
ideas> you probably want to install these applications. You can do so

Installing Agenda

If you are already using Lotus Metro, you should install the Agenda
accessories on the same drive and directory where Metro is already
installed. If Metro is currently installed on your system, the installa¬
tion program for the accessories checks the version number and
updates earlier versions.

Before you install the Agenda accessories, make sure that Metro is not

• Press ctrl-break to specify another drive.

Agenda displays the Terminate batch job Y/N? prompt.
Type Y to return to the operating system prompt. You can
now install the Agenda accessories, specifying a different
drive.

5. Do one of the following:

• If you inserted the 5.25-inch disk in Step 1, insert the Utilities
Disk in the same drive and press enter.

• If you inserted the 3.5-inch disk in Step 1, insert the Print 2
Disk (with Agenda accessories) in the same drive and press

Agenda installs the Agenda accessories.

You can now go to the hard-disk drive on which you installed
Agenda. For example, if you installed Agenda on drive C, type
C: and press ENTER.

For more information about using these accessories, see Appen¬
dix C in the User's Guide.

Defining Environment Variables

You may want to explicitly control which directories Agenda uses
when creating and looking for files, for example, for some network
configurations. Use the DOS Set command and the AG_ENV and
AG_TMP environment variables to identify these directory locations.
Defining these environment variables is optional. By default. Agenda
has built-in rules for selecting directories. In most cases, these rules
should be adequate.

Installing Agenda

If you define:

• AG_ENV, Agenda stores and looks for its configuration files, such
as AGENDA.ENV, in this drive and directory. Configuration files
store your personal preferences for running Agenda.

• AGTMP, Agenda tries to create its temporary files on this drive
and directory. Agenda uses temporary files during an Agenda
session and deletes them when you quit Agenda.

If you have a RAM drive, you might want to set AG_TMP to point
to that drive, for example, type SET AG_TMP=G: \
where G is your RAM drive.

Configuring Your System for Best Performance

There.
perfon

J your system's
suggestions are

Allocate Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) memory

The best way to maximize performance when running Agenda (espe¬
cially if you have a large Agenda file) is to allocate as much EMS
memory as possible to Agenda. To change the allocation of EMS, see
Appendix E in the User’s Guide.

Use an Extended Memory disk cache

If you have extended memory (and you cannot convert it to
expanded (EMS) memory), you can use an Extended Memory disk
cache to improve performance.

speeds up all repetitive disk accesses. ^

Don't use a cache that uses conventional memory (640K) for the cache
space; Agenda can make better use of the space itself.

1-22 Installing Agenda

Define the environment variable AG_TMP to point to a
RAM disk

You can also improve performance by defining the environment vari¬
able AG_TMP to point to a RAM disk so that Agenda creates any
temporary files on the RAM disk. This is particularly important if
your system does not have Expanded Memory Specification memory.
Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the statement:

SET AG_TMP=E:\
where E is the RAM disk

Put the A.EXE and AGENDA.RI Files on a RAM disk

You can also improve performance by putting the A.EXE and
AGENDA.RI files on a Random Access Memory (RAM) disk.

Assume that e: is your RAM disk and that your Agenda program files
are in the directory c:\agenda.

To put the A.EXE and AGENDA.RI files on a RAM disk, modify your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include these statements:

COPY C:\AGENDA\A.EXE E:\

COPY C:\AGENDA YAGENDA.RI E:\

In addition, both e: (your RAM disk) and c:\agenda (your Agenda
program directory) must be in your path, with e: first, c:\agenda
must not be the current directory when you start Agenda.

Since Agenda stores the environment file (AGENDA.ENV) in the
same place as the A.EXE and AGENDA.RI files, you must also
modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the statement:

SET AG_ENV=C:\AGENDA

For convenience, you can put this statement in the batch file you use
to start Agenda.

Increase the buffer values in CONFIG.SYS

You may want to edit your CONFIG.SYS file to include the state¬
ments FILES = 20 and BUFFERS = 20. Agenda works best with buffer
values between 10 and 20. You can experiment with different buffer
values. However, higher values improve disk performance at the
expense of available memory.

more colors for these displays, see "Customizing the Color Display"
later in this chapter. The choices you select apply to all your Agenda
files.

Agenda requires approximately 435K of conventional memory if you
do not have expanded memory. With expanded memory, the mini¬
mum requirement of conventional memory is 395K. If you do not
have enough memory to load Agenda, you may want to unload any
memory-resident applications. (See Appendix E in the User's Guide.)
If your monitor is capable of displaying 43 or 50 lines and you are in
that mode before starting Agenda, Agenda displays these extra lines.

Customizing Your Work Environment

Once you install Agenda, you can begin using it. You may, however,
want to customize Agenda for your system and work environment

What’s New in Agenda 2.0

Agenda 2.0 is a major release that includes significant changes to
Agenda 1.0/1.01 as well as new features. This chapter describes
changes to functions and performance between Agenda 1.0/1.01 and
Agenda 2.0. You should read this chapter if you are upgrading from
a previous release of Agenda. It assumes you are familiar with
release 1.0/1.01.

New features as well as changes to the menu and work environment
streamline Agenda to make you productive quickly. Starter applica¬
tions and changes to the documentation and Help system make it
easier to get up and running in a short time.

In this Chapter

This chapter describes

• Starter applications that accompany Agenda 2.0

• New and revised features in Agenda 2.0

• Changes to the work environment

• Changes to menu commands

• Performance differences between Agenda 1.0/1.01 and
Agenda 2.0

• Changes to the documentation

For information about updating Agenda 1.0/1.01 applications, see
Chapter 3.

Starter Applications

The Agenda package includes four starter applications. These pre¬
built Agenda files are applications that are immediately useful. They
contain categories, views, and macros but no items. You can enter
your own items right away and modify the categories and views to
suit your own needs.

The applications include

• Activities Planner, a management tool for tracking day-to-day
business activities, planning schedules, making contact lists, and
noting ideas. Use Planner to keep your schedule, including phone
calls to make, meetings to attend, priorities, and daily expenses.
Planner has been significantly enhanced to take advantage of new
features in Agenda 2.0 such as datebook views, time, calculations,
and enhanced printing. In addition, macros have been created
that add even more flexibility to the application.

• Account Manager, a sales/support tool for tracking clients and
accounts and reporting on issues and progress. As part of a sales
or support organization, you need to have up-to-date information
about each client. Account Manager helps you maintain client
and prospect information, whether you are in the field or at the
office, as well as calls, meetings, and expenses. With Account
Manager, you can easily share this information with peers or
create a status report for your manager.

• People Manager, a resource-management tool for setting goals
and tracking the performance of people in a group or organization
who report to you. If you are responsible for hiring and managing
a work group. People Manager helps you establish and maintain
records for people and their progress.

• Information Sifter, an information management tool for
analyzing information imported into Agenda from external
sources. Information Sifter demonstrates how to use Agenda to
organize large amounts of external information and tailor it for a
specific project or need. The application uses a sample text file
created from information made available by Lotus
CD/Corporate®, a member of the Lotus One Source® family of
CD-ROM-based products.

Agenda 2.0 Features

This section introduces you to the new features in Agenda 2.0 and
refers you to the documentation that explains these features in
greater depth.

Agenda 2.0 contains the following new features and enhancements.

Date, Time, and the
Datebook

Agenda 2.0 includes a substantially expanded date fe;
addition of time and datebook features. You can crea
time-management applications to plan and adjust tim

Dates and date ranges can now include times (for example, 11/19/90
3:00pm). You can display dates and times in a variety of formats and
you can enter them using words such as today, next Sunday, Nov 8,
12/10/90 5:30pm, first Friday in January, or every Friday at 10am.
You can also display and select dates from a pop-up calendar.

As in Agenda 1.0/1.01, Entry, When, and Done dates are date catego¬
ries that are included in every file. With Agenda 2.0, you can create
additional date categories (for example. Due dates or Review dates).
Agenda also provides datebook views, which you use to enter and
display information that is organized according to dates and times.
For example you can set up a view that displays your schedule by
day, week, month, or quarter. In datebook views you easily scan
your schedule forward or back by day, week, month, or quarter using
the browse feature. You can also set alarms on items to remind you
of important meetings or events.

For details about how to use date, time,and datebook features, see
Chapters 6,7, and 10 in the User's Guide.

ggf_

create a numeric category, you can enter numbers in a column.
Agenda automatically performs the calculations and displays them in
the format you specify. You can also use numeric ranges in condi¬
tions and filters.

For information about creating and using numeric columns, see
Chapter 8 in the User’s Guide.

Printing

Printing has been enhanced with new commands so you can produce
presentation-quality printouts on a variety of printers including
Postscript®. You can print all or part of your file.

The Print Final command gives you control over what parts of your
file you want to print, what pages to print, how many copies to print,
and so forth. Print Layout lets you specify margins and spacing
information, headers and footers, fonts, text attributes, and alignment
information for each part of your final printout. You can select
printer drivers, ports, and fonts with the Print Setup command.
Many more printers are supported with Agenda 2.0. The Agenda
1.0/1.01 PDF files are no longer used.

With Print Preview, you can preview your file on the screen as a
formatted document, page-by-page, before you print. When you pre¬
view a document, you can check it for page format, page breaks, and

You can save the print settings for one file and retrieve them into
another using the Print Named command. You can also save the
print settings for a file and attach these settings to one or more views
in other Agenda files. This lets you print a view with print settings

Agenda lets you send output to a printer or to a file in DCA, ASCII,
or Lotus Manuscript® (.DOC) format.

For detail^ about the new print capabilities, see Chapter 17 in the

You can also insert markers in your file to customize your final print¬
out. For example, you can specify local text attributes (such as bold
and italic) or fonts, or insert the date or a page break. Markers and
Print Layout command settings replace the Agenda 1.0/1.01 back¬
slash commands. See Chapter 14 in the User's Guide.

Network Support Agenda 2.0 runs on several local area network configurations. You
can share Agenda files on a network, making it easier to share infor¬
mation with other Agenda users.

File reservations prevent conflicts when more than one person is
working on the same Agenda file on a network. You can restrict
access to shared files using file reservations, which allow only one
user at a time to save changes to a file. Reservations ensure that users
do not inadvertently write over others' changes.

You can print on a network printer as well as your local printer.

For more information about maintaining data integrity in a multi¬
user environment, see Appendix F in the User's Guide.

Macros Agenda 2.0 adds many new macro commands to give you powerful

macro capabilities. For example, you can design your own menu
with the (LOTUSMENU) or (ROLLMENU) macro commands, you
can do string manipulation, and you can call other macros as subrou¬
tines. Each file can contain up to 100 macros and you can store mac¬
ros in external files. There is no limit to the number of variables you

The Macro Properties box lets you specify and display information
about a macro in one place. You can attach a macro to a key which
lets you customize your Agenda applications and carry out complex
tasks with a simple keystroke.

For more information, see Working with Macros.

Application

Protection

Help

Agenda 2.0 lets application developers build and protect Agenda
applications. You can set protection to prevent users from changing
all or specific categories, views, and/or macros in a file. You can also
seal a file to make permanent the protection settings you specify.

For more information, see Appendix G in the User's Guide.

The Agenda 2.0 Help system has a new format to make information
easier to find. A new Help feature lets you type a word or phrase to
get a list of the most appropriate Help screens. Indexing and cross
references have been enhanced and improved. You can use Help to
quickly look at a list of Agenda keys and what they do.

For information about how to use the Help system, see Chapter 2 in
the User's Guide or press Fi (help), then Ft (ON help).

Import and Export Agenda 2.0 includes more options for importing and exporting infor¬
mation. You can import conditions and actions as well as date and
numeric categories. You can import and export category properties
as well.

For more information about the new import and export settings, see
Chapters 23 and 24 in the User's Guide.

TXT2STF

Conditions and
Actions

TXT2STF (the utility that converts a text file to a structured file so you
can import information into an Agenda file) has been enhanced and
updated. You have more flexibility in using variables in commands
(called actions in Agenda 1.0/1.01). Several new commands have
been added and existing commands have been changed to let you
take advantage of new Agenda and TXT2STF features.

Changes have been made to the match-control characters you can
specify in a pattern and to the number of character classes you can
include in a pattern. Some command-line options for debugging
definition files and structured file tags have changed.

TXT2STF runs faster in Agenda 2.0. Comments in definition files do
not slow performance.

For more information see Working with Definition Files.

Some types of conditions and actions have been renamed. The fol¬
lowing table lists the old and new names.

Profile condition
Profile action

Special action that assigns a When date

To attach conditions and actions to a category, you use the
Category Properties command. To control conditions and actions for
an entire file, use the File Properties command. For more informa¬
tion about conditions and actions, see Chapters 18-21 in the User's

File Integrity Agenda 2.0 reduces the possibility of file damage and improves

detection of damaged files to minimize the chances of file corruption
and to provide effective recovery procedures when information is
lost. When a file is damaged. Agenda displays the indicator DMGD!
in the upper right comer of the screen. Agenda offers you the choice
of saving the information in the damaged file to a new file.

Changes to the Work Environment

Entering

information

Wider Views

Properties Boxes

Agenda 2.0 contains several changes to the work environment. These
changes make it easier to enter information and include new func¬
tions for boxes, file management, and wider views.

The following changes make it easier to enter information.

• When the highlight is on a section head, simply begin typing to
enter items. You no longer type over the section head when you
intend to enter an item.

• Once you type a category in a column, you press t or 1 to enter the
category and move to the next column entry.

• enter replaces F9 (ACCEPT) to accept an entry or a box.

Wider views let you have more columns in a view than will fit hori¬
zontally on an 80-character screen. A view can now be a maximum of
200 characters wide. If you create more columns than fit on one
screen, you can move the highlight to those columns to display them.

You can define and modify characteristics for items, categories, col¬
umns, sections, views, files, and macros using Properties commands.

All the settings are located in one box and replace some commands

and boxes used in Agenda 1.0/1.01.

You can display properties boxes using one of the following methods:

• Select the appropriate menu command (for example, press
Fio (MENU) and select Category Properties).

• In a view, highlight an item or column entry and press F6 (PROPS).
Highlight a section head or column head and press F6 (PROPS) once
to display section or column properties; press F6 (PROPS) twice for
category properties.

• In the category manager, highlight a category and press F6 (PROPS).

• In the view manager or macro manager, highlight the view or
macro name and press F6 (props).

Once you create a date, numeric, or unindexed category, you cannot
change it to another category type.

For information about how to create and use numeric categories and
columns, see Chapter 8 in the User's Guide. For information about
how to create and use date categories, see Chapters 6 and 7 in the
User's Guide.

File Management Managing files in Agenda 2.0 works in much the same way as in

many other PC applications (such as Lotus 1-2-3®). You retrieve a
file, make changes, and save these changes to disk. Instead of two
files with extensions .AGA and .AGB, Agenda 2.0 stores all informa¬
tion in one file with the extension .AG.

When you create a file using a password, you must enter the pass¬
word to retrieve the file or when you erase the file from within

For more information about how Agenda manages files, see Chapter
22 in the User's Guide.

Changing the You use the Utilities Customize command to change settings that

Agenda affect all your Agenda files. This command replaces the Agenda

Environment 1.0/1.01 Utility Preferences Environment command.

You now have greater flexibility in selecting custom colors. See
Chapter 1 in this book.

Menu Commands

Agenda contains many changes to the menu commands. Menus are
simpler and more consistent. Some revisions are due to changes in
features. For example, the Print commands reflect major enhance¬
ments to this feature.

This section provides an overview of the menu changes and includes
a table comparing Agenda 1.0/1.01 and Agenda 2.0 menu com¬
mands. Major key changes are also listed.

Menu Changes Menus are simplified for the main parts of an Agenda file: item.

Overview category, column, section, and view. General changes to menus are

listed below. See the following section for specific information about

how commands have changed.

Agenda 2.0 menus contain the following general changes.

• You define and modify characteristics for items, categories, col¬
umns, sections, views, files, and macros using Properties com¬
mands. The properties boxes replace and combine some Agenda
1.0/1.01 commands and boxes.

Item, Category, Column, Section, and View Properties com¬
mands display a properties box with the settings you need to com¬
plete. For example, you can use the View Properties command to
define a view; specify what is displayed or hidden; define filters,
sorting, and protection; attach named print set files; and display
view statistics.

The File Properties box combines some of the Agenda 1.0/1.01
Utility Preferences commands. It lets you define characteristics
that affect the whole file such as global date formats, auto-assign
settings, and when to empty the trash.

You use the Macro Properties box to specify and display informa¬
tion about a macro. For example, you can edit the macro, attach
the macro to a key, and specify protection.

• In a view, you use the Add command to create and specify charac¬
teristics for categories, columns, sections, and views. Add
replaces the Agenda 1.0/1.01 New command.

• The Column and Section commands are under the View com¬

Key Changes Many of the function and accelerator keys have changed. For specific

information, see the function key definitions displayed at the bottom
of the screen or press Fi (HELP), then F6 (KEYS). Quick Reference also
contains a list of accelerator keys.

The following section lists general changes to function keys for
Agenda 2.0.

Performance Differences

The recommended hardware configuration for Agenda 2.0 is 640K
RAM. Agenda requires a minimum of 435K of conventional memory
to run if you have no expanded memory. Agenda can take advan¬
tage of any additional available conventional memory up to 640K and
any expanded memory (Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory
Specification or LIM EMS), if available. If EMS is available, only 395K
of memory is required to run Agenda, speed and performance
improve, and more memory is available especially for larger files.
Agenda 2.0 uses overlays (sections of code that are swapped in and
out of memory) to decrease the minimum amount of memory
required. This enables you to run memory-resident software and
improve performance for large files. When you use either the System
or Utilities Launch commands. Agenda releases all but 14K of
memory for your use.

For more information see Appendix E in the User's Guide.

What's New in Agenda 2.0

Documentation Changes

The Agenda documentation has been redesigned to provide easier

access to information and make Agenda easier to learn and use.

• Starter Applications explains how to use all four starter applications
and shows how to customize them to suit your needs.

• Quick Start guides you through the basics of Agenda 2.0. It pro¬
vides a hands-on approach that introduces you to the Activities
Planner application.

• The User's Guide has been enhanced with examples and a task-
oriented approach. The index is expanded to include non-Agenda
terms that you might use to search for a topic.

• Quick Reference provides an easily accessible way to look up func¬
tions and accelerator keys.

• Working with Macros contains all information about macros. Each
command is explained by example.

• Working with Definition Files has been completely revised and
expanded with more examples.

• Printer specifications are now included. (See Chapter 4 in this
book.)

Chapter 3

Updating Applications to Agenda 2.0

If you created a fide in Agenda 1.0/1.01, you can retrieve it and use it
in Agenda 2.0. When you retrieve the file. Agenda 2.0 automatically
updates the contents of the .AGA and .AGB files to a single file with
the same name and the extension .AG. The original .AGA and .AGB
files also remain in the directory.

Agenda 2.0, however, does not modify the existing structure of the
file, such as its category hierarchy. To take advantage of Agenda 2.0
features and to improve performance, you might want to make some
changes to the structure of the new .AG file.

If you use Agenda 1.01 Activities Planner, you can import the infor¬
mation in it to Agenda 2.0 Activities Planner. Agenda 2.0 includes
the file UPDATE.MAC with a macro called Update. You use the
Update macro to format the information in Planner for import into
Agenda 2.0.

In this Chapter

This chapter describes how to:

• Update Agenda 1.01 Planner to Agenda 2.0 Planner

• Update other application files to take advantage of Agenda 2.0

Updating Applications to Agenda 2.0

Updating the Activities Planner

The new Activities Planner application included with Agenda 2.0
contains many new features, most of which are a result of direct feed¬
back from users of the earlier Agenda release. Notably, Planner now
includes several new views, such as Next Week, This Month, and
Tomorrow. These are examples of Agenda's datebook views and are
more efficient than the Time and Time frame categories used in
Agenda 1.01 Planner. (For more information about datebook views
see Chapter 10 in the User’s Guide.)

Agenda 2.0 Planner also includes a variety of macros to perform such
tasks as sorting, printing, hiding and displaying Done items, and cre¬
ating a contact list of names and telephone numbers. These macros
save you time and give you an easy way to perform often-used tasks.
You need to update Agenda 1.01 Planner to take advantage of
Agenda 2.0 features and to update the file to Agenda 2.0 format. To
update Agenda 1.01 Planner, you:

• Export the information in the file to a structured file called
UPDATE2.STF

• Import the information into Agenda 2.0 Planner.

The next two sections contain step-by-step procedures for exporting
and importing the information.

To export the information in Agenda 1.01 Planner to the structured
file UPDATE2.STF, you need to:

• Make copies of PLANNER.AGA and PLANNER.AGB

• Update the copy of PLANNER.AGA to Agenda 2.0 format

• Add the Update macro to the file

• Run the macro to create the structured file (UPDATE2.STF)

Exporting
Information
to UPDATE2.STF

Copying Agenda 1.01 PLANNER files

To make a copy of the Agenda 1.01 PLANNER files:

• Use operating system commands to copy and rename the files to
OLDPLAN.AGA and OLDPLAN.AGB and move them to the
Agenda 2.0 subdirectory called APPS.

Caution Use these copies for all subsequent procedures; don't work
with the original files.

Updating Agenda 1.01 Planner to Agenda 2.0

To update OLDPLAN.AGA to Agenda 2.0 format:

1. From the Agenda 2.0 program directory, type agenda and press

Agenda asks you for a file name.

2. Type c: \agenda\apps\oldplan. aga and press enter.
Agenda updates the information in OLDPLAN.AGA to Agenda 2.0
format.

Adding UPDATE.MAC to the file

To add the UPDATE.MAC macro to the file:

1. Press ALT-F3 (MACRO).

Agenda displays the macro manager.

Agenda redisplays the macro manager with Update highlighted.

Running the UPDATE.MAC macro

To run the macro:

• In the macro manager, highlight Update and press ENTER.

The Update macro transfers all assignments for Time categories in
Agenda 1.01 Planner to When dates. It then discards the Time and
Time frame categories, since Agenda 2.0 uses datebook views. Then
the macro exports the information from the file to UPDATE2.STF.

Importing
Information
to PLANNER.AG

To add the information from the Agenda 1.01 Planner file to
Agenda 2.0 Planner, you need to:

features and changes.

Chapter 4

Printer Specifications

You can print your Agenda file using many different printers. This
chapter describes in detail how Agenda works with each printer that
Agenda supports.

Notes The term "driver" used in this chapter refers to the software
that controls the printer.

In this Chapter

This chapter describes:

• Printer-specific settings

• Each printer that Agenda supports and how to set each printer to
work with Agenda

Note Some printers do not support using more than one font for a
line of printed text. To determine whether your printer sup¬
ports multiple fonts on a line of printed text, see your print

About Printer-specific Settings

When you install Agenda, you select the printers that you might use
to print your files. You also specify a primary printer at this time.
Before you print, you use the Print Setup command to specify,
among other things, other information about your hardware that
Agenda needs to print. You can also specify your secondary printer

Printer Specificatic

Depending on the printers that you select. Agenda may also display
additional settings for which you specify printer-specific setup infor¬
mation such as fonts, cartridges, and page orientation.

See the description of your particular printer for information about
the printer-specific settings that apply to your printer. The detailed
descriptions of each printer later in this chapter also provide other
information that you need to specify so that your printer prints pro¬
perly with Agenda.

If your printer does not have a driver listed but can be configured for
IBM-compatibility mode, you may find that better output is available
by selecting the IBM Proprinter driver rather than with the Generic
printer driver.

The sections in this chapter describing individual printers tell you
how to position the paper when you load it into your printer. You
may need to experiment with paper positioning. (See your printer
manual.) With some printers, minimum page margins vary depend¬
ing on whether you choose Continuous Form, Single Sheet (Auto
Feed), or Single Sheet (Manual Feed) for the Forms setting using the
Print Final command. (See "Final Print Settings" in Chapter 17 in the

In the descriptions of individual printers, the term "Auto Feed" refers
to paper loaded semi-automatically and paper loaded with a single-
sheet feeder (limited to certain printers).

Unless the DIP switch settings on your printer have been changed
since it left the factory, you probably do not have to change any set¬
tings to run Agenda. The printer descriptions that follow explain
which switches you may need to change or check.

See your printer manual for additional information about DIP

Caution Always turn the printer off before changing a DIP switch.
Use a nonmetallic object to change the switches.

Agenda produces international characters on most supported print¬
ers using compose sequences. (See Appendix C in the User's Guide.)
Some characters on some printers are not perfect representations of
the corresponding international characters. (See your printer manual
for a list of other characters that your printer supports.)

Generic Printer Driver

Use the Generic printer driver if Agenda does not specifically support
your printer. You can also use this printer driver if you want to pro¬
duce a fully formatted ASCII version of a document that you can
print to a file for transfer to another computer. To do this, you must
first choose Generic as one of your printers during installation. (See
Chapter 1.) Then choose Generic as your printer using the Print
Setup command. (See Chapter 17 in the User's Guide.) Then specify
File with printer codes for the Print to setting using the Print Final
command.

Available
Typefaces
and Pitches

If your printer has a DIP switch setting for automatic perforation
skip, turn it OFF. If there is no DIP switch setting, then reduce the
form size but not the margins to the size of the skip. You can still set
logical margins within the document.

Configure the printer for no automatic line feed and no automatic
carriage return. You may need to change a DIP switch.

See your printer manual for additional setup information.

After you select your printer (see Chapter 17 in the User’s Guide),
Agenda displays printer-specific settings. Complete the following
printer-specific settings:

Font Pitch The choices are Pica (10 cpi) (default). Elite (12 cpi), and
Prestige (15 cpi).

Backspace support The choices are No (default) and Yes.
Extended Character Set Support The choices are No (default) and
Yes. Choose Yes for printer support for the extended character set
only if your printer supports the entire IBM International Character
Set.

Only one font is available in the font list depending on what you
select for Font Pitch. Choose 10,12, or 15 characters per inch (cpi)
depending on which pitch your printer uses. (See "Printer-specific
Settings" in the preceding section.) To use other fixed pitches, scale
the right margin or form width accordingly.

The printer prints six lines per inch.

4-4 Printer Specifications

Notes The Generic printer driver does not print italic, subscript, and super¬

script. Bold and underscore are only supported if you specify back¬
space support for the printer-specific setting.

In addition, the Generic print driver does not support fractional line
spacing (for example, 1.5 lines after items or notes).

This driver supports ASCII characters 32 through 126.

orientations for Prestige, just landscape for Modern PS. Cartridge 1
contains just portrait orientation.

It does not matter in which slot you place the cartridges. The car¬
tridges designated for the printer-specific settings for this printer win
override the default font in the font list. The font list for cartridges is
a combination of the fonts from each cartridge selected for the
printer-specific settings.

These fonts below are available if you set Primary Cartridge and

Notes Superscripts and subscripts are printed offset and in a smaller point

size if available. However, bold and italic characters may not be
available in the smaller size. When superscripts print on the first line
of a page or when subscripts print on the last line of a page, the
printing offset can place the text off the page and lose the characters.
This problem can be avoided if the top and bottom margins are
increased.

Italic is supported only when the oblique version of the desired type¬
face and type size is available. Thus, an italic superscript or subscript
may be available when an italic base character is not, or vice versa.
Bolding is accomplished by using a bold version of the desired font, if
available, and through emphasized print.

Underline and strikethrough attributes are supported in all fonts and
in combination with all other attributes.

For the Forms setting in the Print Final box, choose one of the follow¬

• Continuous Form automatically selects paper from the paper tray.

• Single Sheet (Auto Feed) selects paper from the manual feed slot;
the printer prompts for the next sheet of paper.

• Single Sheet (Manual Feed) selects paper from the manual feed
slot; Agenda prompts for the next sheet of paper.

Choose Continuous Forms for most printing. Manual Feed requires
that you press a key before each page prints.

Because the printer may lag behind requests to change paper, wait for
the console indicators.

These printers support all Hewlett-Packard cartridges from A to Z,
except I, O, and S. The Series II also supports the new S cartridge (PC
Courier, 10 point, group 1 and group 2 ROM), which is designated SI
after the Z cartridge on the menu. If you select an unsupported car¬
tridge or an unsupported Portrait/Landscape mode, the printer uses
the built-in fonts. The built-in font for the LaserJet is Courier 12.0
point. The built-in fonts for the other LaserJet printers are Courier
12.0 point and Line printer 8.5 point.

It does not matter in which slot you place each cartridge. The car¬
tridges designated in the printer-specific settings will override the
built-in default font. In Agenda Print Setup, the font list for
cartridges is a combined list of the fonts from each cartridge selected
using the printer-specific settings.

4-30 Printer Specifications

For information on available typefaces and pitches, see the manual
accompanying your particular cartridge or the LaserJet Printer Family
Font Catalog. 7

The Legal cartridges (G, H, and R) contain pairs of fonts: one that
uses the USASCII symbol set and another that uses the LEGAL sym¬
bol set. This printer combines the two symbol sets and uses the verti¬
cal quotation marks in the USASCII set.

To gain access to the characters in the Math fonts 0 and K), use the
translation tables supplied by Hewlett-Packard. MATH8 is sup¬
ported for many symbols. MATH7, PI FONTS, BAR CODE, and so
on are untranslated.

Double-sided

Printing

Notes

Hus information applies to the LaserJet HD printer only. Choose Yes
for the Double Sided setting in the Print Final box (see Chapter 17 in
die User's Guide) to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. A left-
binding format is used: in portrait orientation, the printed top on one
side of a sheet matches the printed top on the reverse; in landscape,
the printed top matches the printed bottom on the reverse.

Differences in the built-in fonts in the various printers create incom-
patibilides in some combinations.

Documents created using two cartridges in a Series II printer are
incompatible with the older printers.

Whenever a point size smaller than the current point size is available,

subscripts and superscripts print in the smaller size. Bold and italic '

are not generally available in the smaller size for subscripts and
superscripts.

You may not be able to print subscript and superscript text at the
beginning of a line on the LaserJet Series printers.

These printers do not search all available fonts for a special character.
If the character is not in the selected font, it does not print.

These printers do not support the international symbol set on the
C cartridge and does not support the OCR-B extension characters.

The Monospace thimble is fixed pitch; the others are proportional.
Caution Using a monospace thimble with a proportional setting, or
a proportional thimble with a monospace setting, pro¬

It is not possible to change thimbles while your document prints.
Therefore, you must select the appropriate thimble from the list that
displays when you select your printer driver (see "Printer-specific
Settings" for this printer).

For proportional thimbles, choose Keepsake, Bold, or Emperor. For
monospace (fixed-pitch) thimbles, choose a pitch (10,12, or 15) rather
than a thimble name. (See "Available Typefaces and Pitches" later in
